Chapter 193 Tianze Plains, A Sudden High-Alert SOS Signal

As if sensing Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, Zhou Kun, who had just appeared incredibly confident, immediately showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

However, he continued, "To be honest, Junior Brother Nanhua, if we want to fully unleash the power of this war fortress, it will probably require a large amount of spirit stones."

"Consuming a large amount of spirit stones?"

Ji Haoyuan asked calmly, "Approximately how much do you need?"

"This one……"

Zhou Kun hesitated slightly, but still answered:
"It will probably cost at least ten million spirit stones."

Furthermore, each instance of full-force activation cannot be sustained for more than one hour; otherwise, it will cause irreversible damage to the war fortress itself.

really.

Ji Haoyuan knew that such a seemingly powerful war fortress would come at a high price if its full power were to be unleashed.

Ten million spirit stones, that is one thousand high-grade spirit stones.

This amount is not a small sum, even for a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Even many Golden Core cultivators might not have such a large amount of spirit stones on them.

After all, the resources they consume for their daily cultivation are astronomical.

Having spirit stones and resources on hand, it's impossible to keep them unused indefinitely.

Moreover, even with such a huge cost and all-out effort to activate this war fortress, it can only be maintained for a mere hour.

Unless it's a truly critical moment, under normal circumstances, this war fortress will not be fully unleashed.

There's no other reason than that the effort and the reward are not proportional.

However, he also cannot deny the role and significance of this war fortress.

Even if its power is not fully utilized, it should not require too many resources to maintain daily operation and defense.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan continued to ask a few more questions about the war fortress.

When it's almost time...

Ji Haoyuan then personally arranged cave dwellings for Zhou Kun and the others, for them to use for cultivation and residence.

Tianze Plain.

This place is the middle area between Tianchuan Valley and Qiulong Mountain Range.

It is also a buffer zone for this beast tide.

It was a place that the Ji family reclaimed and developed after they moved into Tianchuan Valley.

at this time.

Right there on the Tianze Plain, a beam of signal light suddenly shot into the sky.

Ji Qingfei and Ye Shuling, who were patrolling the area, suddenly noticed the towering signal flames and their expressions changed drastically.

"not good!
That was the highest level of warning and distress signal!

At this moment, the expressions of the couple became extremely solemn.

"What should we do, my husband? That area is probably patrolled by people from the Yanfa Sect. Should we...?"

Ye Shuling immediately looked at Ji Qingfei beside her.

She knew very well what that signal flame meant.

Ji Qingfei said with absolute certainty, "Shuling, you take our people back first, I'll go check over there!"

Ye Shuling's expression suddenly changed.

But before she could say anything more, Ji Qingfei continued:
"Currently, our Ji family and the Yanfa Sect are jointly guarding our clan's territory to fight against this beast tide."

If neither of us had seen that signal flame, then it would have been fine.

If we ignore this now, it will become a problem once the cultivators of the Yanfa Sect find out about it.

Not only will we be unable to explain this, but it will also inevitably weaken the prestige of my great-uncle Zeng.

You must know that the reason our Ji family is where it is today is entirely due to my great-uncle Zeng.

I absolutely cannot, and will not allow, anything that could jeopardize my great-uncle's prestige to happen. Not even the slightest bit! No! It cannot!

By the end, Ji Qingfei's expression had become incredibly resolute.

He looked at his Daoist partner beside him and said in a slightly softer tone:

"Moreover, I have many life-saving items given to me by my great-uncle."

Even when encountering a true third-tier demon, they possess a certain degree of self-preservation ability for a short period.

"Then be careful in everything you do. If it really doesn't work out, don't force it."

Seeing Ji Qingfei say this, Ye Shuling knew that it would be useless for her to say anything more.

But she also cannot stay here any longer.

She had to return with her people and report what had happened as soon as possible, even to their great-uncle Ji Haoyuan.

Only if she reports this matter as quickly as possible can the safety of Ji Qingfei and others be truly guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Ye Shuling stopped acting like a little girl.

With a silent gritted tongue, she led the Ji family cultivators who were with them and quickly returned towards Tianchuan Valley.

Seeing this, Ji Qingfei no longer hesitated and flew towards the location where the signal flame had just been emitted.

at the same time.

At the location where the signal light just emanated.

Four men and one woman, five Foundation Establishment cultivators dressed in the robes of the Yanfa Sect, were leading their people in a desperate fight against the demonic beasts that were attacking them from all directions.

These demonic beasts come in various forms, have different levels of cultivation, and even belong to different races.

Among them are even some demonic beasts that are natural enemies of each other.

But at this moment, they seemed to completely ignore this gene ingrained in their bones, and all of them charged towards the group of cultivators from the Yanfa Sect.

This is not normal!

The appearance of these monsters, in particular, seemed to come out of nowhere, as if they had appeared out of nowhere.

So much so that at first, they were completely caught off guard.

Moreover, what made the five members of the Yanfa Sect feel most desperate was...

As time went on, the demonic beasts located in the Qilong Mountain Range began to swarm towards them one after another.

Its sheer number, variety, and scale already qualify it as a small to medium-sized beast tide.

"careful!"

Suddenly, one of the five, a silver-haired youth who appeared to be the leader, let out a loud shout.

The next moment, they were horrified and furious to see that countless sharp spikes suddenly sprouted from the ground not far from them.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, yellowish-brown rats, each several meters long, suddenly darted out from the ground.

In just a few moves, he pierced the bodies of several Qi Refining cultivators in their group, then dragged them directly into the ground.

Click click click——

Soon, from the original underground location, came a series of teeth-grinding gnawing and chewing sounds.

"That's a rock monster rat!"

Among the five, the only beautiful female cultivator dressed in a pale yellow dress had an extremely unpleasant expression.

"Roar!"

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, the large group of demonic beasts that had been charging towards them were forcibly separated by some powerful force.

When the silver-haired youth and the green-skirted female cultivator looked up, a look of horror flashed in the depths of their pupils, almost simultaneously.

"That is...?"
Second-tier superior-grade demonic beast, Earth Bear!
